Social prescribing service patient quotes & case studies 2015elizabethpacencvo
The document provides several case studies that demonstrate the positive impact of social prescribing services. One case discusses a patient who was frequently sick and hospitalized, had low confidence, and felt useless. Through social prescribing referrals for advocacy, befriending, and volunteering, her quality of life improved dramatically - she has only been hospitalized twice since receiving support. Another case discusses a patient who received job coaching and support, and as a result secured full-time employment, saving on benefits costs and reducing strain on the health system.

SOCW 6070-week 4 discussion 1 Looking Through Different Lenses
I have provided the case study and all resources I work for hospice and my lens is meeting people where they are in their journey and trying to help the whole person and family
As a social worker, you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures.
Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.

Positive thinking: Stop negative self-talk to reduce stress
Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. Practice overcoming negative self-talk with examples provided.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you're optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health.
Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills.
Understanding positive thinking and self-talk
Positive thinking doesn't mean that you ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.
Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information or expectations due to preconceived ideas of what may happen.
If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.
The health benefits of positive thinking
Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
Increased life span
Lower rates of depression
Lower levels of distress and pain
Greater resistance to illnesses
Better psychological and physical well-being
Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and stroke
Reduced risk of death from cancer
Reduced risk of death from respiratory conditions
Reduced risk of death from infections
Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.
It's also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess.
Identifying negative thinking
Not sure if your self-talk is positive or negative? Some common forms of negative self-talk include:

Chinese medicine views the body as a system where energy (qi) flows through meridians and can become blocked or imbalanced, resulting in illness. Acupuncture aims to unblock and balance qi by inserting thin needles into acupuncture points along meridians. This is believed to have holistic effects by influencing the interdependent organs and systems. Clinical studies show acupuncture can effectively treat various chronic conditions and provide benefits like pain relief, increased energy and emotional balance.
Chinese medicine views the body as a system where energy (qi) flows through meridians and can become blocked or imbalanced, resulting in illness. Acupuncture aims to unblock qi by inserting thin needles into acupoints along meridians to restore balance and encourage healing. It is a holistic approach that sees all organs as interconnected and influencing each other. During treatment, acupuncturists may use various needle techniques on specific points to target the root cause based on Chinese medicine theory and diagnosis. The goal is to prompt the body's natural self-healing abilities through subtle energetic effects rather than just addressing physical symptoms.

Response for classmate 1 and 2. 200 words for each
Working in the healthcare settings, we come across many different people from different backgrounds, races, and living situation. The philosophy of any public space is the equality and standard way of thinking and feeling about others, but in reality, these differences could often cause tension and/or stress during the interaction of two people. When I come across a patient around my age group, I find that I speak to them as if they were a friend, often using slang and other gestures as I would with friends outside of the workplace. In contrast, with older adults I tend to speak a bit slower and professional due to the age difference. Being a 27-year-old Intensive Care RN, often times older patients initially feel as if my age will affect their care in a negative way because they relate young with inexperienced, therefore the tone and word choice are changed in order to instill confidence thru proper communication. The difference in gender can also have its changes of personality during a patient interaction. Being a male, I tend to talk to the guys a bit more straight forward and not so much emphasis on emotion, while with females, I tend to be more compassionate and understanding of their situation. As for the other factors that make a difference in people, race, sextual preference, living situation, that does not play a factor during patient communication as those are not important to me, instead I may feel the urge to ask more questions to get to know them and their culture or preferences if their difference interest me.
While growing up, the Latin culture has great respect for older adults. A young family member is always expected to take care of their older family members, especially the older females. Grandma’s, Aunt’s, and Mom are always the first to have priority in any situation, starting with the eldest one. The older males in the Latin culture are not left out behind, but typically are carefree to many situations, just wanting everyone to be happy regardless of where they stand. When I was about 5 years old in 1997, the respect for adults was already instilled in me. Always making sure that adults are respected and listened to what they asked of me. In 2007 I was 16, and things started changing, I would be able to challenge adults’ questions and figure out why things are the way that they are; this was a rebellious stage, but I was just trying to figure out why. Fast forward from the rebellious stage, 2011 I was 20 years old, and now had the knowledge as to why adults did what they did, and I understood the meaning behind it. The older adults in the family would now see me as an adult, and although the respect continued as such, I was now an adult as well with my own opinion and choice, regardless of their input.
The way we act and treat others is highly influenced by the upbringing that we have experienced as children, in my opinion, and therefore .
The document summarizes the authors Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson and their book "The One Minute Manager". It discusses how the book teaches managers to set clear goals that can be reviewed in one minute, give immediate one minute praise when goals are met, and deliver swift one minute reprimands when goals are not met. It emphasizes that effective managers behave like "One Minute Managers" by setting brief goals and providing brief but impactful praise and feedback.
The document discusses the components of an effective therapeutic relationship between a nurse and patient. It identifies trust, genuine interest, empathy, acceptance, positive regard, self-awareness, and therapeutic use of self as crucial components. It also provides examples of therapeutic techniques nurses can use to develop these components such as active listening, exploring, summarizing, and empathy.

1. Alumni Highlight: Shannon Mesneak | achs.edu
Shannon Mesneak is an ACHS AAS in CAM graduate who owns an herbal apothecary store in
Longview, Washington. She graduated from ACHS in 2017, then went on to complete two
internships: One in Hill, Texas with Dr. Lorie Rose, and one in Battleground, Washington with Dr.
Jillian Stansbury.
Let’s Be Holistic
Shannon opened Let’s Be Holistic in 2019. “The main thing that I do is sell bulk loose herbs and tea.
The main part of the shop is a huge herb wall. I think I have about seventy loose herbs,” she says.
Her bulk loose leaf herbs can be bought by the ounce. Shannon says, “If you really want to get an
obscure herb that isn’t that easy to find unless you order it online, I probably have it!”
Shannon was inspired to open her apothecary because there are no similar stores in the area. When
she wanted to purchase bulk loose herbs Shannon would have to drive all the way to Portland. “I
thought there’s got to be a lot of people who need this, and it’s not available where we live. I took
the chance, and there are people!" she says.
In addition to herbs, Let’s Be Holistic also carries a selection of essential oils, tea accessories, Herb
Pharm and Oregon’s Wild Harvest products, and a tincture bar where you can buy an ounce of any
single tincture herb.
Helping People Live Healthy
Shannon does coaching sessions that include nutrition and health coaching and herbal remedies as
needed.
“Before I even see a client, I send them a pretty lengthy intake form. I tell clients, the more
information you give me, the more knowledge I’ll have to better specifically find what I’m looking for
to help you as far as an herb or supplement and what lifestyle changes we need to make,” Shannon
says. She also sends them a wellness wheel so they can rate which areas of their life they want to
work on and what areas they already feel proficient in.
Then, before the appointment, Shannon thinks about what goal setting and herbal remedies might
help the client based on their intake form. "That can quickly change when you sit down and talk to
somebody and everything you thought can go out the window. They might come in because they’re
having digestive issues, and it comes out they’re in a very stressful work environment," she says. "So
it’s not so much what they’re eating, but that we have to do something to help support the anxiety
and stress and encourage them to look for a different job. That’s the cool thing about meeting with
2. people one on one is that it’s always a surprise. I love it."
Letting The Plants Guide You
“I subscribe very much to the idea that plants talk to people,” Shannon says. For example, if a client
comes in asking for herbs to help with stress or anxiety, she directs them to the area of herbs on her
herb wall that can help with the nervous system.
“I tell them, take your time and think about it. Whatever one they grab first, that’s the one that they
need. I guide them and tell them this is the direction you need to go in, but it’s pretty amazing to just
see people drawn to a certain herb,” she says. “That gives me goosebumps. I love that part of it.”
She also says that not all herbs work for everyone the same way: "When I give people
something I always tell them that not every herb works for everybody and so you may take this
and it may not give us what we want, so don’t be discouraged. I’ve done that with a couple
people who weren’t getting what they needed so we switched to a different one and it was the
one they needed."
Selling In The Time Of COVID
Like many businesses, Let's Be Holistic has had to adjust to operating in a different way during the
COVID pandemic. “It’s weird right now not being down there every day," Shannon says.
Having been open for a year and a half, Shannon says she has been able to establish a solid base of
customers and has a 40% returning customer base. Her customers are able to pick up what they
need by messaging her on social media or her website. Then, Shannon packages up the order and
they are able to pay for it over the phone or quickly pay in person when they pick it up.
In addition, all of her herbs are for sale on her website with a 4oz purchase minimum.
Plans For The Future
In the future, Shannon hopes to pay it forward by having her own interns at Let’s Be Holistic. Her
goal is to go back to school to get her bachelor’s degree once she is able to have interns running the
shop. She is also working on a line of spirituality based teas that she plans to release in the future.
